    Is it normal to hate my job this much?

    noyesno replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a maniac. It has helped me tremendously as a NP

    Is it normal to hate my job this much?

    noyesno replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    The short answer is yes. Bedside is rough. Especially, the first year. It gets a little better as time goes on but not by much, in my experience. I stuck it out for 9 miserable years because I...

    Is being an FNP worth it?

    noyesno replied to Shelly7913's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Totally true. My experience also. I do feel more respected as an NP than I did as a bedside nurse. That's not saying much

    BEDSIDE...run, don't walk!

    noyesno replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    I did 8.5 years in Med/Surg and it was horrible. I learned a lot and knew I wanted to be a NP so I kept at it despite the tachycardia from anxiety, sleepless nights before shifts, sleepless nights...

    Is being an FNP worth it?

    noyesno replied to Shelly7913's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm a new FNP. I did not feel ready when I secured my first NP job (family practice) and I still don't (10 months in). I just do the best I can to look everything up and learn as I go. I work with a...

    Complaints of Complaining

    noyesno replied to mermer_rn's topic in General Nursing

    This happened at my hospital when we were applying for magnet. They sent the more vocal peeps to mandatory counseling to help improve their "attitudes". I really wasn't a vocal one but I got sent. The...

    Nursing School and Career with Back Problems

    noyesno replied to person115's topic in General Nursing

    Facilities that are "with the times" should be using lift equipment and other technology to prevent employee injury (beds that help turn patients, air sliding devices). Nobody should be manually...

    NP

    noyesno replied to girlwithnoname's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a newish NP. Started my first job in October 2019. I work in family practice. Better pay and better quality of life than hospital RN (did that for 9 years). No regrets

    Am I a coward for going on FMLA due to COVID?

    noyesno replied to ML1376's topic in Disaster Preparation

    YOU ARE NOT A COWARD. Drop the guilt. I'd do the same thing. You are high

    Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

    That's exactly what happened! I know, it killed me. The doctor I work for is literally the sweetest individual I have ever met. She just let it

    Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

    noyesno replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a new FNP and worked 9 years in med/surg as a nurse before becoming a NP. My bedside experience is proving to be so helpful as I transition into the FNP role. There is a NP student at the office...

    Very happy I became a nurse practitioner

    noyesno posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just wanted to say: I am very happy I went for it. I just started my first NP job a few weeks ago and I can confidently say: it was 100% worth all the blood, sweat, and tears. I did land a sweet gig...

    Sorry nursing

    Did 9 years (at the bedside). Left me with physical illnesses and emotional problems (burnout, anxiety). It's a sad state of

    5 8s, no thanks!

    noyesno replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    They offered me benefits but I'm on my husband's plan. This is a private practice. I knew these doctors from working at the hospital for 8.5 years. That helped me a lot. They basically created this...

    5 8s, no thanks!

    noyesno replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've decided to just work part-time because of this. I work Mondays: 12-4 Tuesdays: 10-6 Thursdays: 10-6 Make about the same as I did as a full-time hospital RN. Family Practice

    New Electronic Medical Record + Short Staffing = Danger

    noyesno posted a topic in General Nursing

    When your hospital rolled out a new electronic medical record (EMR), did they overstaff (or at least adequately staff) to help with the transition? I recently had the pleasure of working...

    New Electronic Medical Record + Short Staffing = Danger

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds very similar to my experience with "go live". I had 6 patients on the first day, had to give blood, discharge a few patients, etc. My employer contracted some "superusers" from a company that...

    Wow, I'm glad to hear it's done differently elsewhere. Thanks for your replies, everyone. Makes me feel less crazy for being

    Bad idea to quit after 6m as a new grad for DNP school?

    noyesno replied to Theanxiousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    IMO: having bedside experience is crucial to being a good NP. I have worked 8+ years in the hospital and will be starting my first NP job in a few weeks. I cannot imagine launching my career as a NP...

    New Grad NP feeling Overwhelmed, Scared

    noyesno replied to dolgre411's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    New Grad Nurse Might Lose Job Struggling In Orientation

    noyesno replied to Scrubba Dub's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry you're going through this. I've been there and its horrible. Anxiety to the max. They extended my orientation to 20 weeks when I was a new grad because I struggled with time management. I...

    Can I get Fired?

    noyesno replied to Minniegirl0604's topic in General Nursing

    My coworker gave herself a liter bolus bc she came to work hungover. She didn't get fired but she didn't tell people about it. Sketchy AF. Why did you start an IV on yourself? I've felt nervous...

    noyesno replied to TheObserver5's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing has taught me how to problem solve like a mofo. I've become extremely resourceful and can basically tackle any issue thrown my way. I've been a nurse for 6.5 years. I have a BS in...
